Die neuesten Messungen von @permosCH zeigen, dass der #Permafrost in der #Schweiz warm bleibt. Ein Trend, der sich auch 2024 fortsetzen dürfte 👉 scnat.ch/de/id/AiasH

A new borehole was drilled in 2019 at the PERMOS site Muot da Barba Peider (GR) by the @SLFDavos to secure the long time series. The borehole was instrumented with two different temperature sensor systems. Read about the first results and comparison here 👉:

This summer, two 25-metre-deep #permafrost boreholes were drilled on the #Jungfrau at 4130 m above sea level by the canton in collaboration with @SLF. A construction site with a unique view, but great challenges in terms of logistics, construction techniques and work safety.

📰 "Thawing permafrost may have caused rockfall in Tyrol [Austria 🇦🇹]" @DiePressecom --- More than 100,000 cubic meters of material broke off the mountain in the Silvretta Group [on Sunday], triggering a two-kilometre mudslide. Nobody got hurt. --- diepresse.com/13428769/aufta…

Auftauender Permafrost dürfte Felssturz in Tirol verursacht haben

Mehr als 100.000 Kubikmeter Material brachen in der Silvrettagruppe aus dem Berg ab und lösten eine zwei Kilometer lange Mure aus. Verletzt wurde niemand.

How did the extreme summer 2022 affect glaciers and permafrost in the Swiss Alps after the snow-poor winter 2021/2022? The Swiss cryosphere report 2022 has been published in the journal of the Swiss Alpine Club (in German and French). @glamos @SLFDavos sac-cas.ch/de/umwelt/kryosph…

Das Jahr 2021/22 geht in die Geschichte der Kryosphärenbeobachtung ein: Sehr wenig Schnee während des Winters, Rekordschmelze der Gletscher, und Maximaltemperaturen in den oberen Schichten des...

The lack of snow in early winter can – at least temporary – cool the permafrost (as for example in winter 2016/17). In spring/early summer, however, the effect is the opposite (as for example last year)

Im Jahr 2022 ist der Schweizer #Permafrost besonders stark aufgetaut. Klar zutage tritt das Problem, wenn Felsbrocken sich vom #Berg lösen oder wenn Bergbahnen und #SAC-Hütten plötzlich Probleme mit dem Untergrund kriegen.
